Re: Yes it makes a sound.
Why? Do you have the final ultimate knowlege of how reality is manifested?
​
No, I think he's simply trying to point out how stupid it is to take a situation with a fairly simple answer and try to make it complicated with a bunch of corner-case physics that don't apply. Since there's really no reason to try to do it except for someone to show off their half-assed understanding of quantum mechanics - and believe you me, there's nobody here who has more than a half-assed understanding of the subject, including me - I find myself in total agreement with him.
​
And I say Ok then why the fuck is science so interested in it?
​
If you don't understand the appeal of knowledge for knowledge's sake, then you simply won't understand the applicability of any scientific finding to your life.

Re: Yes it makes a sound.
also your eyes you use to observe the macro world around you, absorbs the light energy emittied by the sun from the local field in fact makes a CHANGE to the field which can be otherwise stated as observation affecting reality. Or is that not correct?
​
No, that's not correct. Light is photons, not fields.

Re: Yes it makes a sound.
Spooky action at a distance? I thought we were done with that in Newton's time. Certainly after the photoelectric effect. Maybe you heard of the guy that got the Nobel prize for that? Some kind of einstein, I guess.
